FIVE -DAY ISLE-OF-MAN T.T. COURSE TRAINING/TOUR
Advanced rider training and touring around the world famous IOM TT Circuit
Since the beginning of this century we have been offering our customers the opportunity to enjoy a five-day mini break, with their bike and visit the fantastic undisputed capital of motorcycle road racing.
These trips have become increasingly popular, with a high proportion of re-visits and repeat bookings by riders wishing to share their experience with different friends. We work closely with the
and the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association .
During this mini break you will ride the course with a running commentary and receive bike-to-bike advanced riding instruction around the famous island TT circuit.
Anyone who has visited the Isle of Man during TT fortnight will already know how hectic the event can be. Whatever your interest in bikes, there is an organized event taking place somewhere on the island to cover it. Finding the event and managing your time and location to correspond to those events is no easy task.
Over 37 miles of superbly prepared and maintained road through every type of environment imaginable, a guaranteed variety of weather conditions and temperatures all in one circuit. No cat’s eyes, anti-skid road markings and amazingly, the national speed limit means ‘no speed limit’ (within the bounds of sensibility and providing conditions are suitable).
Included in this mini break is a guided tour of the island and all its wonders, geared to a return visit to the TT when you will know exactly what takes place where and when.
We work closely with the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association and on Wednesday evening they treat us to a fantastic insight to their duties and experiences of the TT.
Thursday gives you the oportunity to experience night-time riding. Not many riders choose to go out at night but this experience will see pitch-dark conditions along the coast and over the mountain. (not compulsory)
Our instructors ALL have a minimum qualification of the coveted RoSPA National Diploma in Advanced Motorcycle Instruction. Our principle instructors are 'diploma instructor / examiners' and you will often find several examiners on this trip.
Although the formal test or qualification is not compulsory anyone wishing to have a go will get that opportunity on the last day. All of our instructors are from a police riding background and are fully qualified as advanced instructors and examiners with RoSPA. We can assure all participants that the standard of riding will improve significantly.
Where will we stay?
Our regular haunt is the Arrandale Hotel, Douglas which is a stones throw from Douglas promenade. It is fully licensed with a warm friendly atmosphere. The proprietors do anything they can to make our stay enjoyable. The Arrandale is staggering distance for all nocturnal activities in Douglas. (www.arrandale.com)
There is no shortage of things to do. We can make special arrangements with sufficient notice, for parties who require upgraded accommodation with added facilities.
You should be aware that this course is rather intense and you may have no energy left in the evenings for anything else.
How many riders is the tour open to?
Normal advanced training courses will consist of no more than two students to an instructor. This ensures quality instruction to an advanced standard. We have enough instructors to cope with large groups subject to early bookings.
Our regular courses run with around ten candidates.
